A step recording function also lets you input notes by specifying the length and pitch. Completed recordings can be converted to SMF (Standard MIDI File) format and stored to an SD memory card.

Rhythm Editor

Rhythm Editor lets you combine instrument parts from multiple built-in rhythms, turn individual instrument parts on or off, and adjust volume, pan, reverb, and other parameters to create your own original rhythms. You can even create original rhythms for NORMAL, FILL IN, INTRO, and ENDING accompaniment patterns. You can store up to 10 original rhythms in memory for instant recall whenever you need them.

Multiple Digital Effects

Built-in effects include reverb (10 types), chorus (5 types), and DSP (100 types using 46 effect types including delay, phaser, flanger, wah, rotary, and more). You can apply different effects to a tone to create exactly the sound you want.

Equalizer

Registrations: Save 32 Keyboard Setups for Quick Recall

A simple operation saves the current setup, including tone, rhythm, and other settings for instant recall when you need them. * You even can save tones to which effector effects are being applied. Recalling a registration instantly changes the digital keyboard's setup, making this a great tool for live stage performances. The CTK-6200 gives you 4 sets x 8 banks for 32 setups.

Tone Editor

Tone Editor can be used to adjust attack time, release time, cut off, vibrato, reverb, chorus, DSP, and other parameters as desired. You can create distinctively original tones for performances and music creation sessions.

Audio Inputs and Outputs

Different input/output terminals are provided to meet a variety of different needs: an audio in terminal (AUDIO IN) for audio device input that can be output through the speakers, and line out terminals (L/MONO, R) for connection of the mixer of a stage PA system or other devices.

USB Port

The USB port provides easy computer and MIDI send/receive connection. It also enables quick and simple transfer of song sequencer, pattern sequencer, tone editor and other data, as well as audio data recorded to an SD memory card from an audio device between the digital keyboard and a computer.

The AHL sound source delivers a lineup of 700 different built-in tones. You also can store up to 10 of your own original tones for instant recall whenever you need them.

210 Preset Rhythms and Auto Accompaniment

Large Dial

A large operation dial really comes in handy during music creation using sequencer functions and mixer functions.

Display

The display shows the currently selected tone name and rhythm name, along with a wealth of other information. On the sequencer screen, for example, you can check the current status and volume level of each of the 16 tracks, and other setting information at a glance.

Piano-Style Keyboard and Touch Response

The keyboard is designed and engineered to provide a realistic piano experience. Just like a grand piano keyboard, Touch Response causes sound that is output to change in accordance with the amount of pressure applied to the keys.

High-output 2-Way Bass Reflex Speakers

A 7W+7W high-output bass reflex 2-way 4-speaker system delivers rich sound from low range to high. The speakers can be used as high-quality monitoring speakers during performances and music creation sessions.

Pitch Bend Wheel

Music Presets

Music presets provide one-touch access to Auto Accompaniment, tone, reverb, and other settings that are configured in accordance with representative chord progressions.

"Excellent Portability with Average Sound"

Overall:
As an owner of a Roland keyboard and Yamaha digital piano, I was reluctant to purchase a Casio; however, I wanted a light, portable keyboard with decent sound on a budget. The Casio CTK-6200 met this need. This keyboard is an excellent value and provides a lot of features for a keyboard player on a budget. For example, the sequencer offers a lot of features, but...it is a bit clunky to navigate. While this keyboard has a 32 channel mixer, it is difficult to quickly navigate through the channels on it; however, for under $200, the aforementioned features are and excellent value. Nonetheless, Roland or Yamaha offer far better options for sequencing and mixing. I have done a few gigs with this Casio keyboard due to its portability. It should be noted that the onboard speakers are "cheap" sounding. To get the best performance, this keyboard needs a sustain pedal AND should be run through an external sound system. As a keyboard player that plays on worship teams, I found the default piano samples were very tinny, but...I used the tone editor to provide additional reverb, attack, and more "punch" to the piano tones. The fact that the tones can be editted increases the value of this keyboard. Overall, Casio makes a GOOD keyboard - not a GREAT keyboard. For a GREAT keyboard, be prepared to invest a minimum of $1,000 for a Yamaha, Roland, or a Korg. For a novice player or for a band keyboard player looking for a good keyboard on a budget, the Casio CTK-6200 is a decent choice.
